New snow and wind slabs in all aspects. New snow represents the main danger.

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force northeasterly wind, sometimes large wind slabs formed by the evening in particular in places that are protected from the wind. High-altitude starting zones have been replenished further quickly. In all aspects medium-sized slab avalanches are possible as a consequence of the snowfall. In particular on wind-loaded slopes the avalanches can be released in deep layers of the snowpack and reach large size.

The old snowpack is moist. The new snow can be released naturally.
